It’s autumn so we’re seeing different birds on the beach now.
On the beach this morning was a sizeable flock of the fairly sleek black-capped Tara | White-fronted Tern. The photo shows about 1/3 of the flock. Nearby was a pair of the much chunkier Taranui | Caspian Tern with their distinctive orange beaks — I suspect an adult and a youngster.
